On where we'd be with Sturridge and Coutinho all season...exactly the same
Used to be (in the heydays) that 1+1=2 for Reds but these days 1+1 = some huge f. disappointment eg the 2 above + Suarez would have collided first day at the Hawthorns, with Luis biting both in the head accidently as a foretaste (good eh ?) of things to come. We'll have that luck till the "elder" we have upset somewhere carks it...(or retires :)
thanks Dave for reports which brightened the dark days after defeats even if those days weren't as dark as they would've been, er, if not here
3rd next year, nailed on and just ahead of the Arse

On the ‘incident’, the only question to me is why one of the world's top strikers would be anywhere near a fixture like this ? If we can afford to keep this genius (and he is..) we’ll regret outings like this when his knees go in a couple of years, through being clogged by some brickie at Field Mill or similar (all respect to Mansfield, who were brilliant).
He’ll end up like Stevie, 2 or 3 years past his actual playing age, thru saving manager egos at Oldham, Northampton etc or playing out mindless Europa fixtures.
There’s a time and place to park the bus for any side and this was it, second half for us, even if it meant swallowing a bit of pride and tiki taka. And give the better kids a run. Worst case was a draw and replay at that stage.
Accepting Luis always wants to play, but he needs protecting from himself on this…did the skinny Ronaldo ever grace a ground like this ?..another area where El Demento-Skidmark has always out-thought us and used his whole squad

To...er..."Daniel"
Daniel is good but he seems like a pain
So I can see us Redmen fans, dis-appointed again
And so I…I can see Daniel, waving goodbye
Yes it looks like Daniel - is a spec-ulative buy
They say Eastgate is pretty but I’ve never been
Now Daniel says Anfield is, the best place he’s ever seen
Oh and - he should know cos he’s been to enough
Don’t miss chances Daniel, cos we already miss too much
Daniel our brother, you are just 23
Do you still feel the pain - of leaving Chelsea and City ?
Your star has died - you once wore Number 9
Da-niel you’re a star - who we need to rev-i-ve !

This might have been the first Reds match ever I could have watched to the end, but chose not too, 15 mins out. The script was written very early..and the same f*ckin butler (shite team selection) did it again.
'Dysfunctional" was the big word that sprang to fed-up mind. Dave is right about the Sports Science clowns, but could whoever "coaches" the defence put their hand(s) up too and explain why we've let in so many shithouse goals, the last few weeks ? C'mon own up.
Has to be the worst ever on this front - seriously. Can anyone remember a worse run of defending ?? I can't - even through the worst days of the Facerubber
And which overpaid "goalkeeping mentor" mentors Pepe to defend shots with his legs wide open ? It's kid's stuff (if Achterberg, that's fine I've a soft spot for Tranmere..)
We all love the King but it's simple now...finish 4th at least next year or move upstairs (ie back to your stand seat). Or as soon as it starts looking a long shot again (which might be right now...)
I don’t think he'll get the chance though. Henry hasn't shown a hard edge yet - but he's got to be thinking successor now.

Back to the topic
If cash is the issue in this window:-
Grant Holt (old-school, but all heart and prob as good a finisher as Carroll - $4-5m ? he hardly ever starts). Would score goals and Suarez would get some knock-downs
Archie Thompson : A-League, Melbourne Victory - you'll laugh, but he's experienced, a class finisher and would die to even play in EPL - cost : $2m ? which would be paid back in a week in new Reds merchandise bought here
Enoch Showumni - big slow Tranmere CF - $50,000 - buy just on name

Has anyone ever met an Aussie that knows anything at all about football? I met one once who claimed to support both Liverpool and Man Utd.

Depressing that about one in ten get it. The skipper is almost a spent force and should be played from the bench for however long he can at the top level, barring the mancs and rivals for 4th (while we are in with a shot). There's no ego problem and he paid whole career wages that one night in Istanbul so there’s nothing due there, either. He’ll worry teams just on the chance he’ll come on and the club will get longest playing time
We’re paying the price now for all the times he played in the fucking league cup and (worse) Europa when he should have been at home watching the ressies play out all of those. Fuck the Facerubber (again) and even Rafa for their part in that and thank Christ (festively) the The King has way more sense.
Most of all we owe our Legend a final shot at England glory and this Euro has to be his last go, barring a miracle that even Kewell would be proud of
[And YES ! Gerry is a banning, first offence]

Not to be confused with Aussie Red but posting from same time zone, so half asleep today. first reply after two years reading but i feel strongly enough about our brazilian mate..
no-one should be down on anyone that beat the mancs like that, but does seem Lucas has exactly half a football brain so the clockwork (safety) things work OK but he isn't going to get you off your seat much so let's get used to it
but whatever the view on him he is the worst finisher EVER to play in mid for reds (even worse than Maxi)..he is fucking terrible and has cost us points over and again from sitters....these and many other times I've wanted to choke him
and i agree 100% with the first post that the ball at chelsea came at him like a telegraphed wagon train but he still couldnt pick it...he doesn't have this part of the footie brain..whic is why he gets caught in poss so often, too
i'd keep him as a squad player for euro etc but would want to his birth cert carefully re-checked first

For older viewers...Kenny Burn's broken nose, Tevez neck for sure, Luis' teeth AND Spock-like ears (they're horrible too..), all bolted-on to anything of Davie Dodds, once of Dundee Utd and nailed-on ugliest, ever. Add Terry Darracott's fetching hairline and wait for an electrical storm..
